The Khalsa sect was founded for social welfare and communal harmony by Guru Nanak Dev, said Harjit Singh Grewal, Punjab MP and BJP leader.

He was addressing a seminar on ‘Sapt-Sindhu Kshetr and Deen Dayal Upadhyay Chintan ke Vayavharik Prayog’ organised by Itihas Shodh Sansathan under the aegis of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Chair of Central University, Dharamsala, at Neri near here today.

Grewal said, “The Khalsa sect was founded for the protection of religion and country. It only spreads love, peace and harmony in the society.”

He said like Guru Nanak, Deen Dayal Upadhyay also tried to help the last person in queue. He said the BJP government in the Centre was also trying to promote similar ideology in the country so that the downtrodden people could be benefitted.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
